In a post titled "Selling out isn't easy" Jay Dedman (founder/moderator of the Yahoo Vlog Group) announces: "Ryanne and I have just signed a one-year deal with Podtech to license our videos on sustainable culture. For over 2 years now, the Videoblogging Group has discussed money and...These are my continuing adventures in Videoblogging. Since the spring of 2004, I have watched, participated in, and pushed for new ways for people to put video on their blogs. The whole goal is to get you to take part in the conversations around you. Wake and make. The take away: it's good when creators own their own work....and get paid we'll see if there's a downside." Congrats Jay and Ryanne. It will be interesting to see how this develops--specifically, how they continue to communicate their feelings about commercialism. They're getting paid because they can sell ads around their stuff (or so PodTech thinks) which is of course a TV model. Will new media end up looking suspiciously like old media? Watch the leaders of the vlogging movement and see. Via Network2.tv
